South Carolina Called for McCain

It's all but official: the major networks are now calling South Carolina for John McCain, who currently leads Mike Huckabee 33% to 30% with 88% of the vote in.

The implications of this victory are far-reaching, as it establishes that McCain can play in the South, and affords him plenty of the oft-mentioned "momentum" going into Florida ten days from now.

CNN exit polls show that McCain and Huckabee evenly split the vote among self-identified Republicans. It appears a number of anti-McCain memes will die a slow, painful death tonight.
